Hamilton, U of Georgia Mark Leap Day

Hamilton College is using today's leap day for a fund-raising campaign. The college is trying to set a record in the number of donors it has had on a single day, and one trustee has pledged to match every gift (regardless of size) with $100. A video urges alumni to "take a leap" for the college.

The University of Georgia has produced its own leap day video, focused on why we have leap years and some students whose birthday is Feb. 29.
